20 years ago, the world lost a racing great. Immortalised in the hearts and minds of F1 fans

 

The Imola circuit where Ayrton Senna died 20 years ago today is to hold four days of tributes to the Brazilian.
The three-time world champion died aged 34 when his Williams crashed during the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix.
